Description:

This is unlike my past video mod which used bbcode, this one is more simple and works much better for the user too. What it does it parses the url when the post is viewed, so it will work with past links and new links.

So basically the user enters a video link in a post and its automaticly displayed as the actual embedded video.

the answer for you solution is almost the same as the one for pr0k. Your site does not have VBSEO installed and in passiveVid 1.1.2 it doesn't actually grab the titles, the upcoming release will.

[ALil'Hope]

Oh thanks. I will probably buy your next version.

Fair 'nuff, thanks!

How can I change it where I don't have to approve every video a user may add? Like when my users post videos, it puts it in a state where a moderator has to approve it. How can I disable that and allow users to post whenever and whatever and I wont have to do anything?

[hastyhost]

nevermind find the problem. I didn't have a certain usergroup set to follow moderator rules

Hii..

i had to uninstall this mod, it doubled my queries on the server from 7 to 12 and it was still going up. I hope some of the codes gets fixed to fix this issue, may be this mod doesn't work on big sites?

the upcoming version will basically have no server stress.

(this mod doesn't add any queries though, you should double check that)

heres a status update.

currently i have it working with 22 video sites, i still need to do 8 more. 5 of them require advanced logic and the other 3 are adult sites.

a fun feature for 1.2 will be the ability to globally control the embed size to a fixed size or reduce all by a %. (may add an max/min height and width)

also its easy to add gobal embed attributes now its going to be as easy as this:
(in the admincp)

		attributes.allowFullScreen = 'true';
		attributes.wmode = 'opaque';

and this one will still support the custom replacement, it will work a little differently though.

width = __videow__
height = __videoh__
title = __videot__
href = __videohref__
containerid = __videoe__

so for this one you will basically need to use a containerid because it uses swfobject so your custom replacement can be as simple as this:

<div id="__videoe__"></div>

(in other words its coming along nicely)

[setishock]

So if I'm not using vbseo you think it would be pointless to upgrade? Or is there anything new that would be of use to me?
